The ELCA has placed their opinion over God’s Word. The denomination's actions and teachings show us that they place their own authority over God’s authority. They have made themselves god and that is idolatry. Not surprisingly this isn’t the only form of idolatry happening in the ELCA.

ELCA church Ebenezer Lutheran, otherwise knows as herchurch, in San Francisco posted highlights from their Christ Sophia Mass in 2009 on youtube.

Pastor Stacy Boorn opens the service this way, “Welcome to the Christ Sophia mass, the incarnation of she who is all wisdom. . .”

At the 2:33 minute mark of the video you can view the singing of Silent Night, but notice the changing of the words, they sing “Christ Sophia is born, Christ Sophia is born.”

At the 2:46 mark you can see the congregation sing and dance to a song called “Grandmother Song.” The lyrics are, “Oh, Grandmother, I see you sitting in the East. I pray to you. I pray to you. You are sacred And you are looking at me.” This is repeated with only minor variations of the words.

At the 4:30 mark you can watch children sing to Christ Sophia, (to the tune of Angels From the Realm Of Glory) “. . . come (each?) worship, come (each?) worship, Christ Sophia sets us free.”

During Holy Communion, at the 8:26 mark you can see Pastor Stacy Boorn mouth what looks to be, “Body of Christ Sophia for you.”

This is not Jesus Christ they are worshiping. It is a different god.

The ELCA knows full well what is happening at this church. They approve it and welcome it. (see here)

Is God being honored in this?

Add another piece of evidence exposing the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Christ-Sophia? This church is leading the way to hell. All who would not go into the darkness of lies and idolatry-- LEAVE THE ELCA NOW!

I just came acrossed your sight by way of the Brothers of John the Steadfast sight. I grew up in the ELCA and left for the LCMS 10 years ago, the greatest move I've ever done. I remember telling some of my friends a few years ago who still attend my old ELCA congregation about this "Her Church", and they didn't believe me. I believe many in the ELCA just really ignorant about what's going on in their denomination. The slide into apostasy happened many years ago when their view of scripture changed, beginning with their seminarys. We are witnessing that fruit: denial of a 6 day creation, myth making with the old testament miracles, women's ordination, abortion, homosexuality and know pagan worship. This is what I didn't want my children to see.

It's only fair that ELCA-Babylon gets to have its own uniquely heretical religion, isn't it?

This "Sophia" idolatry is been festering in some of the more liberal mainline protestant denominations for maybe 10 years, but it's becoming more prominent. Pray for these folks because this serves only to draw people away for Christ and Him crucified for our sins!
We left our ELCA congregation for LCMS last year. Agreed... best move we ever made.
Thanks for the video link, I'll forward this to Chris Roseborough at Fighting for the Faith.
